Capture the screen and edit stills and video

Like most screen capture tools, you can set hot keys for many of the capture features with Ashampoo Snap. You can choose to capture a window, fixed region, scrolling window, a free style region and more. You can also choose the output format, BMP, JPG, PNG or PDF. Once you've take your shot, there is a basic editing suite, where you can add some effects, text, arrows and so on. The interface is unusual, but really easy to use.

With video capture, Ashampoo Snap is also really easy - choose what you want to capture, whether it's the full desktop, a portion, or a particular application, and click start. And if you want to capture onscreen video, there's a special setting on Ashampoo Snap for that too.

Ashampoo Snap is not the simplest capture application available, but it's certainly rich in features, and is well designed. The video capture is really good, and makes simple screencasts and tutorials really easy to do. It's by no means a professional video editing studio, but for most people it will do just fine.

Ashampoo Snap is a a great mid-range application, with enough features for most users, and nice interfaces.

I purchased this software so i could make personal music compilations by recording my favourite artists from obscure rare dvd's... however Ashampoo Snap 4 wont record anything from my pc dvd player or youtube files, thought maybe my copy was faulty, so uninstalled it then reinstalled it... but to no avail... looked at help/faq's however just says if you have difficulty capturing video then try another codec... tried all, and still no joy??? ...anyone got any tips, as would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Pros

Capture's still screenshots no probs, but why bother, when you can do this same function by using the print screen tab and saving to paint... which is free.
